Eleanor Roosevelt was born in October, 11, 1884, in the city of New York, she was a shy child and she lost her mother at an early age in 1982, at the age of 10, her father died and became an orphan (William et al., 2002). She was the niece of President Theodore Roosevelt, and she grew up to be one of the famous women if not the famous in white house, after being married to her distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt in the year 1905, during her husband's reign as the president, Eleanor was involved greater in addressing press conferences, and writing articles in newspapers and magazines, after the death of Franklin, her husband, she moved to serve as the human rights on woman's issues activist (Cook, 1999).

The couple had six children, this therefore made her busy with family issues, but did not let her family issues affect the way she was helping people in her capacity. During the World War II, she was active in public service, especially working for the American Red Cross. Her husband suffered polio attack in 1912 and Eleanor stepped forward to help her husband in his political endeavours. In 1933 her husband became the president and Eleanor, immediately took her role as the first lady. She had her own column in the newspaper as mentioned earlier, where she would post issues that touched on the human rights and on the women issues together with their children. She spoke of the how to help the poor countries and she stood firm against racial discrimination. During the World War II, Eleanor supported the troops at war by travelling to visit them, in 1945, her husband died, she was selected to lead the United Nations delegates from the years 1945 to 1953 (Pearson & Martin, 2007), she later became the chair of UNs Human Rights Commission, where she assisted in writing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Eleanor died in 1962. Before her death, though, Eleanor work in various capacities, for instance, the women's Trade Union League, which was led by women from the elite class and the normal working class women, this organisation was put up to enable more women leaders to join the trade unions, especially in the garment industries to intervene in state congress and the congress on fair wages and work hours. Eleanor, notable made huge contributions to the organisation, in the period of the great depression, she supported the group solely for several months, she would also be involved in teaching women various activities, provide literary readings as part of widening the working class members (Pearson & Martin, 2007)..

The other organisation that she ably worked in, was the women's division of the New York Democratic Committee (Collard, 2008), where she acted as the chair lady, finance manager and at times even a mere member of the society. The aim of this society was to garner more women to offer democratic candidature, and support for more women, this later became one powerful organ in the states political arena. Eleanor also worked in the league of women voters, New York states branch and national organisation, her goal here was to educate women on political issues and to engage them into political processes at both the national and political levels.

Had Eleanor lived past the year 1962, many of the delayed actions that are experienced in this day and age in the American history, would have been achieved much earlier, issues pertaining to human rights and civil rights would have been dealt with the highest speed deserved. Eleanor was an activist for civil and women rights, in American political scenario, we have experienced the imbalanced gender ration in the house of congress, the states representatives in their various capacities, may be if Eleanor were alive today, we would not have seen this gender parity that exists. The issues pertaining to the civil rights would have been addressed more readily and respect would have been accorded to the various people who have now and then tried to move with the same spirit, issues of assassination would never have experience as a result of lobbying for civil rights, for instance, the death of Edgar Evers assassination in the year 1962 which saw more than 200,000 civil rights protester march in Washington. Perhaps many women leaders would have risen, with her support and her role of lobbying for women in their various capacities. The passing of civil rights act would have come much earlier, given that her impact contributed to the passage of this act, however, late it was leaders such as Martin Luther King would have been empowered to carry on with the work even with a lot of vigour and power. The rights of voting regardless of the race or the gender would have been illegalised much earlier than 1965.
